Re: [WiX-users] Keep/migrate feature state on major update

You shouldn't need to schedule the MigrateFeatureStates action manually. The UpgradeVersion element has an attribute called MigrateFeatures that you can set to "yes". As an example: - Learn WiX with the book: https://www.packtpub.com/wix-a-developers-guide-to-windows-installer-xml

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall in a different fragment?

Windows Installer defines the ServiceInstall table with a foreign key to the Component table because it considers each row of the ServiceInstall table to be part of that component (exactly the same as files and registry values). Thus, separating the service and file parts of the component is a s

So, it sounds like you're trying to create an installer, but have recent builds of your product incorporated in automatically? A sort of constant-integration installer? I think you may be on the right track by using Heat. It's a good tool for generating a WiX source file for you. You probably al

In the log, does it give a specific error code after the part where it says it's returning a status of 3? Oftentimes it will and you can use that to look up its meaning. I noticed that you're running this custom action as "immediate". If you're deleting files, should it come during the deferred s

No, I meant that the Visual Studio 2010 MSI contains dlls from WIX 3.5 which indicates that the Visual Studio 2010 installer was built with WIX 3.5. If Microsoft uses 3.5 for releasing production code, we can. They haven't integrated it into their runtime of Visual Studio 2010. _

WiX v3.5 isn't technically more stable than WiX v3.0 (in development beta code versus released final code) but if you want to use VS2010 you have to use WiX v3.5 as VS 2010 didn't exist when WiX v3.0 was released.
